Nagauta Performance
Cast: Einojo Kineya, Katsushizu Kineya, Soto Takei, Junichi Akimoto
Theme: Yotsuya Kaidan
Based around a chaji tea gathering for the tea ceremony, Newwa-kai created a space and atmosphere with a focus on setting and aroma.
The event featured French cuisine done in a “French Chakaiseki” style which greatly complemented the tea, and the five Nagauta music pieces from the Kabuki play “Tokaido Yotsuya Kaidan. ”
An explanatory film for beginners was shown in the yoritsuki waiting area. In addition, a digital record of the event- an explanatory film with supplementary audio – was distributed to participants after the event.
Newwa-kai
Newwa-kai was established to promote the appeal of traditional performing arts and culture to people of all ages.
In order to create opportunities for people to experience traditional arts and culture, the group is working to hold hands-on classes and workshops, and to plan new forms of entertainment that combine classical arts, food, and tea. We believe that by considering and carrying out promotional activities in a way that is appropriate to the times, we can preserve the good old traditions and pass them on to the next generation.
